Carnal People

Friday, April 25, 2014

　

There are only two types of people in existence today; Converted and carnal. What separates these people is weather or not they have the Holy Spirit of the Father. All of what is called Christianity today is carnal; unconverted people deceived by Satan and believing in non-scriptural lies, fables and ideas of a fleshly mind. This, I know, is rather sharp language but it is the truth.
Carnal people have none of the fruits or gifts that can only come by Gods spirit. Carnal people try their best to mimic spiritual things but the true people of God can see the fakery. Carnal people do not have the faith and grace needed for the hope of salvation; simply put, they are not nor have they ever been Christians.
Gods elect saints are true Christians and possess the Holy Spirit and are being saved by grace through faith in the message of the gospel and acknowledgement of Jesus as messiah and son of God. The saints are learning the truth by way of divine revelation of what was lost from the first century AD.
Carnal people cannot lose something they never had and was never given to them in the first place. The hope of the carnal person is to be converted and this they do not recognize because they falsely think they are converted. Carnal people are deceived by Satan and are Satan’s children, the children of disobedience.
Is the kingdom of God truly everlasting with no end and is the everlasting life the saints are promised only for a designated time? Some people play with words rather than see the true meaning of those words in the complete text to understand the meaning. The word for everlasting in Greek is “aionios”;
Strong's Ref. # 166
Romanized aionios
Pronounced ahee-o'-nee-os
from GSN0165; perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well):
KJV--eternal, for ever, everlasting, world (began).
Some say that this word does not mean forever without end but this word is used to describe Gods kingdom and the type of life the saints are promised in that kingdom.
KJV Matthew 19:29
29. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
KJV 2 Peter 1:11
11. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Will the kingdom of God and the life the saints have in it expire, are these things only for a designated time? The lake of fire is said by some to be only temporary and they play with the word “aionios” to say that this lake of fire purges away all evil to supply salvation to the entirety of human kind, some going as far as to include the Devil and his fallen angels.
This lake of fire is truly forever and ever with no end but is not for human beings to be purged but totally and completely destroyed whereas the Devil and his fallen angels exist in it forever in torment. The everlasting destruction below is describing the lake of fire and the word used for everlasting is “aionios”;
KJV 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9
8. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
No one will ever live forever and ever in torment except for Satan and his fallen angels, the human beings who are cast into the lake of fire are destroyed forever and ever, they will never live again. The lake of fire is not the vehicle of salvation, only Jesus is the savior, not fire. The lake of fire cleansing theory is a false gospel because there is no other way to be saved other than Jesus Christ. Anyone who has had the Holy Spirit and rejects all that comes with the spirit to live in unrepentant sin will be destroyed forever and ever. The sacrifice of Jesus will not serve as payment for this unpardonable sin.
KJV Hebrews 10:26-27
26. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth (After being given the Holy Spirit), there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins (The sacrifice of Jesus will not pay for this type of sin),
27. But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries (This is the lake of fire).
Carnal people cannot commit the unpardonable sin because they do not have the Holy Spirit.
This is one reason why God is not offering the hope of salvation to all of humanity at this time; because God, who is omniscient, knows that the vast majority of human beings would commit the unpardonable sin and God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, a condition required to have the hope of salvation.
KJV Luke 13:3
3. I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
It is an act of Gods mercy and love for humanity that He does not call and choose us all at the same time.
Gods love is truly unconditional. The saints are converted to establish a relationship in this Godly love with their creator. Godly Love then becomes the spiritual glue that binds us and God together; we love God because He first loved us. Carnal unconverted people do not have this spiritual connection of Godly love but are cut off from God because of sin. To have this connection means that you know God to the degree God is revealed whereas carnal people do not know God but think of Him as a trinity or binary deity.
The converted know the message of the gospel but the carnal minds think they have an immortal soul that consciously survives death to go to bliss in heaven or torment in hell and some believe in the false rapture and keeping the works of the law. These people should not even be called Christians as it defiles the true meaning of the word.
Love is the key to understanding Gods reason for creating humanity. What God is developing in the saints is His love, a love that cannot sin and is the fulfillment of the intent of the shadow law. If a person will not cooperate with God while having the Holy Spirit and is bent on following the way of Satan, God will forever and ever destroy that person, both body and spirit, in the lake of fire. This does not change who God is or show some inability on His part to save all people, as those who teach universal salvation think, because it is not Gods first cause for creating humanity, it is as stated above; humans must become like God and Jesus, LOVE, or else they will not have life. True Godly love has been proven by the shadow law that it cannot be legislated or forced upon anyone but must be accepted by a response of love from the one God shows love too. The very foundation of love is laid upon the free will acceptance of love between two parties. The shadow of this is marriage, as Jesus loved the church men should love their wives. Who forced you to love your wife or for that matter anyone you love? You love because you want to by your own free will choice.
If some people go to the lake of fire this has no negative effect on God, for God will go the uttermost to save people, but if a person with knowledge refuses to love God, refuses to repent and obey the gospel, God has no use for them. Losing a person to the lake of fire is not a failure for God it is separating sheep from goats or chaff from wheat; it is accomplishing what Gods will is. God has always been God and always will be God and has never changed; why would anyone think humanities creation by God would change Him? Will our sin or righteousness add to or take anything away from God?
KJV Job 22:3
3. Is it any pleasure to the almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
KJV Job 35:6-8
6. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7. If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8. Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
Humanity cannot add to or take anything away from an eternal God. Humanity is given the hope by God to enter into the love that God is. All humanity is like raw material, clay in the hands of the potter, who makes vessels, some will be of honor some dishonor and God in eternity has known who will be in each category. God did not mar those vessels of dishonor but those vessels became marred on their own while in His hand, while converted they failed, but those of honor were successful in their election. God will in four stages offer salvation to humanity; The 144,000, the innumerable multitude, the millennium and second resurrection and while the vast majority of all humanity will receive salvation there will be some that will not. At this time it is the first stage, the 144,000, who have this opportunity and they must focus on it and let the world alone, turn away from them who are Satan’s ministers and children and give themselves completely to God and Christ, it is our time now, the carnal will follow later.
KJV 1 Peter 4:17-18
17. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18. And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
This article is written for Gods scattered elect saints. The reason for it is to help show that we should not be trying to convert the carnal world for this is Gods business not ours as only God has the omniscience to do this. We should not attempt to preach the gospel to the world as only God gives the eyes to see and the ears to hear its message, God grants repentance to those He has already written in the lambs book of life from the foundation of the world and in this current age there will only be 144,000 of them. What we need to do is focus on our growth and attempting to do some work we have not been given to do will only take our focus off of our own spiritual growth. I am one like you, an elect saint of God, and in my early years of conversion I had to learn this lesson. The small group of saints that I fellowship with have focused on our growth and we let the world alone. This blog I write does expose lies and gives the truth on many spiritual subjects in the hope that some of Gods scattered elect may stumble upon it and contact me. This blog is not an effort to convert the carnal world because no one can convert anyone but God and Christ. Even when Jesus was on the Earth and after three and a half years of preaching his gospel and doing miracles only 120 people of the thousands that heard him believed and were converted on Pentecost.
The saints must not waste their time but use it to grow to become the very best servant of God and Christ that they can be. I do not have all the truth but if I spend the vast majority of my time on things not given to me it is assured that my learning will suffer. We will only cheat ourselves if we do these things. Our hearts should be on the further conversion of ourselves rather than on a carnal world. We need to study scripture asking who, what, when, where, how and why in prayer to God seeking answers. We serve our Lord and master in spiritual things not the carnal world that cannot even understand them. We are the bride of Christ and we need to make ourselves ready.

Who Will Be Saved

Sunday, April 20, 2014

　

At this time, in the current age, God is calling and choosing His elect saints. The number of these saints in total will be 144,000 when they are all finally called and chosen. These saints are composed of people before and after Christ. As far as I know Able was the first of these 144,000 and who the last will be I do not know.

Jesus told his disciples that to them only was it given to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to others it would not be given.

KJV Matthew 13:10-17
10. And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15. For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

KJV Matthew 22:14
14. For many are called, but few are chosen.

KJV Matthew 7:13-14
13. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Jesus said these things because he knew that his God and Father was going to call and choose a total of 144,000 human beings from the time of Able until the time just before the tribulation. All the people listed in Hebrews 11, and some not mentioned, were the olive tree, the ancient church, the first leavened loaf of bread of the ancient holy day of carnal Israel, Pentecost.

KJV Leviticus 23:17
17. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the Lord.

KJV Revelation 14:4
4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

In Acts chapter 2 the Holy Spirit was given to the 120 people on Pentecost and many think this was the beginning of the church but it was the second loaf of bread, the calling of the gentiles, who would be grafted into the olive tree of the ancient saints due to the unbelief of the Jews.

KJV Romans 11:15-22
15. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16. For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18. Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

The root that is holy refers to people like Abraham, Moses and King David, the branches are us, the gentiles, grafted in to partake of the root.

If we know and understand these things, we should see that all the false churches and false preachers have never been called and chosen, they do not have the Holy Spirit and are not an elect saint of God, they are not of the first fruits. What was the advice of Jesus concerning these types of people?

KJV Matthew 15:12-14
12. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13. But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

All the false churches, prophets and preachers are not worth the time of one of Gods elect saints, we already know their fate and nothing we say to them will change them because their minds are cauterized, seared with a hot iron, and if God is not going to call and choose them in this age then they will remain as they are.

KJV 2 Timothy 3:1-5
1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Paul gives the same advice as Jesus, turn away, leave them alone because it is God and not the saints who calls and chooses the 144,000. This number, 144,000, I believe is literal and most of these people are dead with only a very small remnant to be alive at the return of Jesus. The reason God is so careful about who He calls and chooses in this age is the following;

KJV 2 Peter 3:9
9. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

KJV 1 Peter 4:17-19
17. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18. And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19. Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

God has provided different times for humanity to have the opportunity to repent and be converted; now in this age with the 144,000, the innumerable multitude, the millennium and second resurrection. God controls this and the saints do not, we cannot convert anyone but should rather be focused on our own calling and election. We need to grow spiritually and overcome sin and endure to the end. This is how we should spend our time because now is our time; we are judged now and the world later.

This is not like the days of the Apostles when the church was organized and had the leadership of Godly men appointed to offices in the church. The church today is scattered to the four winds and the only leadership we have is Jesus by the Holy Spirit. This is why all of Gods saints today are prophets because we are being taught by divine revelation in the same way as the ancient prophets and the Apostles. We are in the wilderness, strangers and pilgrims in a world yet ruled by Satan. This is our time and we must use it wisely. Forget about all the worldly false things, let them alone, give yourself to God and Christ and grow.
